Take to the skies for an unforgettable Grand Prairie hot air balloon ride and experience the magic of soaring over the northwest Alberta landscape, suspended in a basket under a glorious hot air balloon.

You’ll climb into the basket while the pilot continues to use the burner to heat up the air inside the balloon. When it becomes lighter than air the hot air balloon will gracefully ascend to over 1,000 feet, offering spectacular views of beautiful farmland and the expansive boreal forest, so don’t forget your camera!

Your hot air balloon ride will fly over Bear Creek (as it flows throughout the city) and the hilly terrain of Grande Prairie, high above the scenic region local’s call “Peace Country” and lets you see the peeks of the Canadian Rockies.

The balloon will travel at wind speed for approximately one hour, providing you with plenty of time to relax and enjoy this wonderful sensation. As is tradition for ballooning, adventurers of the appropriate age end their flight with a champagne toast and memories that last a lifetime. The most exciting part of this hot air balloon flight is see Grand Prairie from a whole new perspective.
